| Pile of Warranty Info |
Consider that the ceiling height will not change in the room where you installed the fan therefore you will not need the lowering rod and if you installed a light, even if a cover is broken you will most likely replace it or get another light kit.
If you must keep parts after an installation, then put them in an appropriately sized ziploc bag which you have labeled with the name of the item they came from, the room where it is located, and the date.
When you assemble something, if there is an abundance of left over parts, perhaps rereading (or reading for the first time) the directions is a good idea in case you missed a step. Some things do come with extras or accessories or batteries. Store these parts with the manual and/or warranty information together in a large ziploc bag.
Warranties and parts for most everything in your home should have one convenient, accessible location. A cabinet or plastic tub with a lid that can contain all your ziploc bags of parts, manuals and warranties is a great idea. When you buy something, staple the receipt to the warranty or manual and put it with the others. If you get a new thing to replace an old thing, remember to remove the manual for the old thing. The next owner of the old thing, whether you give it to charity or sell it on Craig's list, etc., will be very happy to have it.
You can further categorize warranties and manuals by putting them in pockets or sleeves in a three ring binder. This works especially well for kitchen appliances, both large and small. The next time you need to clean the oven or choose which blade to use to slice potatoes with the food processor, this information can be at your finger tips.
